Red Tulips And Lilacs

Last fall, I planted some red tulips at one end of a bed.

They are rewarding me with a blast of color.

The lilacs already smell wonderful. They are about to burst open. I checked last year's posts and they didn't bloom until April 22nd. They are crazy early this year. I've already cut some to bring inside.

Everything is crazy early this year -- we missed so much by leaving on April 14 last year -- no tulips, not all of the daffs and definitely no lilacs. This year everything is blooming now and in spades!

The tulips are lovely and so are the lilacs. I can't believe how early things are this year. Our forsythia and daffodils are blooming a full SIX weeks early. Of course, Ma Nature didn't take the freezing night time temps away---grrrr.

I noticed as well yesterday evening that a white lilac had open blooms. .and today the purple one did as well. .I sure hope they last until Sunday when I get back. .I'll be disappointed if I don't get to bring in a bouquet to smell up my house!!
